Modeling emf, Potential Difference, and Internal Resistancepart of Interactive Lectures:Examples Through class discussion and think-pair-share questions, this activity helps students come to understand the difference between emf and potential difference in electrical circuits. These concepts are broached ...

Properties of Electrostatic Charge: Interactive Lecture Demonstrationpart of Teaching with Interactive Demonstrations:Examples This activity is an interactive lecture demonstration format which can be used to teach the first lesson of electrostatics. Students will investigate conservation of charge, charge by contact, polarization of charge and charge by induction.

Measuring voltage and current in a DC circuitpart of Interactive Lectures:Examples These exercises target student misconceptions about how to properly measure voltage and current in simple DC circuits by letting them investigate different meter arrangements without fear of damaging equipment. ...

An electrostatics puzzlerpart of Teaching with Interactive Demonstrations:Examples An interactive lecture demonstration intended to help students use physics reasoning to predict the outcome of a puzzling electrostatics demonstration.

Electromagnetic Induction Demonstrationpart of Teaching with Interactive Demonstrations:Examples This simple demonstration shows the interaction between electricity and magnetism. Two coils of wire are held close to each other, but not touching. One is attached to a music source, such as a small radio or iPod, and the other is attached to an external speaker. Students can hear the music through the speaker even though there is no direct connection.
